https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/e23f3a41-3786-411e-bcbc-7c5b717333af Steve Sweeney, veteran war correspondent and RT's Lebanon bureau chief, joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra to recount his harrowing escape from an Israeli airstrike while reporting in southern Lebanon. “It was only by luck … if it was a foot the other way… there wouldn’t have even been bodies to recover,” Sweeney says, describing how close he and his cameraman came to being killed. Sweeney also lays out what he calls Israel's systematic targeting of journalists, noting that more journalists have been killed by Israel since 2023 than in both World Wars, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq combined. According to Sweeney, these killings continue because Israel is not only allowed to act with impunity — but is actively encouraged to do so. #breakthroughnews Wed, 06 May 2026 14:16:40 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/e23f3a41-3786-411e-bcbc-7c5b717333af All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
